New Contact Fix for the dreaded Contacts app

I have had issues with the contacts app and Gmail for a while now and with the 10.3.0.1052 leak installed, my duplicate contact issues have been resolved,but every time I try and add a new contact and input the phone number, it populates the home, work, mobile categories with the same number???

I found a quick fix for now, I go to my Google desktop on my PC and enter the phone numbers in the home, work and cell categories and when it syncs it to my z30 and the new contract information is now correct.

I know they still need to fix the issue, but at least I now have the correct information in my new contact. Just thought I would pass it along.

I also like using the desktop app to fix the info

I just put the most important contacts in "my contacts" in gmail. Then the sync works fine. Just turn on sync in bb setup. Isn't that the best way?

This issue with contacts is the one thing keeping me from returning to bb10. If they can get a fix sorted I would be interested in trying it out again.
It's good that they are making some progress but ideally it should have been sorted by now

That's one way of doing it, but it should work the same way from your BlackBerry device. You should be able to add contacts from your BlackBerry OS10 device the same as you do in Gmail on your desktop.

The did fix the duplicate contacts issue in 10.3.0.1052, so hopefully this issue will also be addressed in a future update.

I keep seeing this contacts issue but it's never happened to me. Maybe it's Gmail specific?

It's a BlackBerry software issue because I have tried it with IOS, Android and Windows OS and they all work fine, only happens on OS10. At least the duplicate contact issue has been resolved in 10.3.

Not sure you addressed what he said, I also have been using the BB10 since launch and I haven't experience any duplicate contacts issues.

I must however say that I do turn off Contact Sync for my Gmail account as all my contacts are handled via Outlook.com
